SHIN SPLINTS
What are Shin Splints
Shin splints is a term commonly used to describe pain along the front or inner edge of the shin bone. This pain is usually caused by irritation of the muscles, tendons, or bone tissue in the lower leg due to repeated stress.
Shin splints can start as a mild ache and gradually worsen if the load on the lower leg continues. Without proper treatment, the condition can become more persistent and may increase the risk of more serious bone stress injuries.

SHIN SPLINTS
What Causes Shin Splints?
Shin splints are most commonly caused by overuse, especially after a sudden increase in running, walking, jumping, or other high-impact activity. Poor footwear, hard training surfaces, and changes in exercise intensity can also place excess strain on the lower leg.
Other contributing factors include poor biomechanics, flat feet, tight calf muscles, and reduced strength or control through the foot and ankle. At our clinics in Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, we assess these factors to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
